Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Madison Thursday, though the event comes as a surprise as he currently is leading Republican opponent John McCain in the state of Wisconsin.

Or is he? WI was extremely razor thin close in both 2000 and 2004. Campaigning in WI is something you do if the national race is very close. If you are really up by the 5-10 points that the media says you are, you should be spending more time in red states.
